Psalms 13

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

Dawid dwom. Awurade enkosi da bɛn? Wo werɛ befi me afebɔɔ ana? Enkosi da bɛn na wode wʼanim behintaw me?

2 How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

Enkosi da bɛn na mene mʼadwennwene bedi aperepere na awerɛhow ahyɛ me koma mu daa? Mʼatamfo nni me so nkonim nkosi da bɛn?

3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Twa wʼani hwɛ me na bua me, Awurade, me Nyankopɔn. Ma mʼani so nyɛ hann, na manna owu nna.

4 lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

Me tamfo bɛka se, “Madi ne so nkonim.” Na mʼahohiahiafo bedi ahurusi bere a mahwe ase.

5 But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

Nanso mede me ho to wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no so; me koma di ahurusi wɔ wo nkwagye mu.

6 I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

Mɛto dwom ama Awurade, efisɛ ɔne me adi no yiye. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no.
